Under the general permission to NRI's holding foreign passport, the RBI has allowed them to acquire, hold, transfer or dispose off by way of sale or inheritance, immovable properties situated in India.

It is necessary for foreign citizens of Indian origin to declare such property to RBI within a period of 90 days from the date of purchase in the prescribed IPI 7 to RBI.

The RBI has granted general permission for sale of such property without its permission. However, where the property is purchased by another foreign citizen of Indian origin, the funds towards the purchase should either be remitted to India or paid out of the balance in a NRE or FCNR account.

The remittance of the sale proceeds depends on the mode of acquisition -whether it was acquired out of funds remitted from outside or out of rupee funds

On residential properties purchased, the RBI considers applications for repatriation of sale proceeds up to the consideration amount remitted in foreign exchange for the acquisition of 2 properties.

Applications for the repatriation of sale proceeds are considered provided the sale takes place after three years from the date of final purchase deed or from the date of payment of final installment of consideration amount, whichever is later.

If you are buying the property through your NRE accounts, then you could repatriate your sale proceeds and rental income to your foreign account after deduction of Income Tax and Capital Gains on the Sale proceeds as applicable.

If you are settled outside India and come once if a couple of years, then for all practical purposes, you should give a specific power of attorney to some one here in India, so that in your absence, things like registration, possession, execution of agreement for sale, agreement of leave and license etc, can be taken care of with ease.
